Please have crashplan or some equivalent that backs up your thesis constantly and automatically. I keep having clients lose all their stuff to randsomware or theft.
I had two backups, but my "friend" smashed his flashdrive into the pc while we weren't there (after we told him not to) and, suprise surprise, we got a fucking virus that EstazUlCorrupta-ed everything. At the time I was backing up my work to the other harddrive as well, and it just spread like birdshit.
BOO
